Two new hats!

Angelique is modeling my newest Jackie O hat. It is made from a previously loved wool/angora sweater that I felted. It measures 22/23 inches. With this hat I sewed a silky interfacing so the hat keeps it's shape & does not itch. The rosettes are made from vintage silk in chocolate, sage & champagne. For added sparkle I sewed beading in the rosettes.

With this hat I sewed a silky interfacing so the hat keeps it's shape & does not itch. The rosettes are made from vintage silk in dusty pink & ivory. For added sparkle I sewed vintage earrings in the rosettes.

This hat would make a great accessory to your Christmas party!

To clean & store the hat wipe down with a clean cotton cloth that has been rung out from a solution of vinegar & water. My Grandmother always used this method to clean & store her woolens.

Home is my favorite place to be. I wish I could stay home & just putter & create! I am a wife to an awesome man & Momma to my fur baby, Emmett!
I have found new meaning in renew, reuse, recycle. I create hats, mittens, & scarves from previously loved wool, angora, mohair sweaters that I have washed & felted.
I also love to cook & bake & spend time with my family & friends.
